Sunniva Inc. (CSE: SNN) (OTCQX: SNNVF) Operating in Two Largest Legal Cannabis Markets in the World

The tide of cannabis legalization in North America is rising steadily to a flood, and nowhere is this more apparent than in the world’s two largest markets, California and Canada. The former was the first U.S. state to legalize (in 1996) medical marijuana, and, since January 1, 2018, has legally permitted marijuana for adult recreational use. In Canada, liberalization has followed a similar timeline. The Marihuana Medical Access Regulations (MMAR) were enacted in July 2001. They were superseded by the Marihuana for Medical Purposes Regulations (MMPR) in July 2013, which were then replaced in August 2016 by the current regime, the Access to Cannabis for Medical Purposes Regulations (ACMPR). Adult recreational use depends on the enactment of Bill C-45 (the Cannabis Act) by the Canadian House of Commons, which is expected before the end of summer. Together, these two markets comprise a colossal adult consumer base of around 60 million, divided equally at about 30 million each. It’s a base that Sunniva Inc. (CSE: SNN) (OTCQX: SNNVF) is targeting. The company currently has separate growing facilities under construction in these two markets, including the California Campus at Cathedral City, California, and the Canada Campus at Okanagan Falls, British Columbia.

With an economy that would place it at number six in a global GDP listing, California is now the world’s premier cannabis market. It’s a market that looks set to reach almost $4 billion in…

He has denied any wrongdoing but Malaysia's new anti-graft chief has said Najib could face criminal charges "very soon." He told reporters when he...

BEIJING — China and Japan both condemned Thursday the Trump administration's decision to launch an investigation into whether tariffs are needed on imports of vehicles and automotive parts into the United States. China's Commerce Ministry said Beijing would "firmly defend" its rights and interests against what it called the Trump administration's abuse of national security provisions in trade. Japan's minister of Economy, Trade and Industry, Hiroshige Seko, said Japan, which accounts for about 40 percent of U.S. vehicle imports, will continue to remind U.S. officials that any trade measures must conform to the rules of the World Trade Organization.

JAKARTA, Indonesia — Indonesian ride-hailing app Go-Jek will expand into Thailand, Vietnam, Singapore and the Philippines in the next few months, it said Thursday, stepping up competition with rival Grab for Southeast Asian customers. Go-Jek, which currently only operates in Indonesia, said it will spend $500 million on the regional expansion. It's potentially good news for consumers in Southeast Asia after competition between ride-hailing apps lessened with Uber's agreement in March to sell its failing business in the region to Singapore-based Grab. Go-Jek, which got a cash injection from investors including Google and Tencent earlier this year, said its overseas...
